American Idol 2008 Results: Final Eleven, Who Got Voted Off?

The final eleven performed on Tuesday night on American idol. It was almost predictable and it appears now that it is almost simple to divide the remaining contestants into two categories, the top level or the A-list singers and the second level or the B-list singers. The guys have a lot more talent this season than the ladies but there are two stand out female performers.


Carly Smithson will be a solid contestant throughout, she has a great voice and a cute accent and she should make the top five. Brooke White is just as good, but in a different way. She has a career ahead of her in music and I love her folksy look and sound. Her personality is infectious.

For the guys it is two Davids and a Michael. David Cook seems like the strongest all around performer of the competition. He can sing and play the guitar and has that rock edge that was so badly missing from last season. Michael Johns is very talented but so far has underperformed and will need to step up to keep up with Cook.

David Archuleta is a cute kid and has a great voice and he has already captured the tweens that watch this show. That means big votes and a top three finish. If you don't think that is important, check out Miley Cyrus and her concert sales and you will get it.

The others Jason Castro, Kristy Lee Cook, Ramiele Malubay, Syesha Mercado, Chikizie and Amanda Overmyer are all in the bottom half and tonight it will be evenly divided. Out of those I believe that only Jason Casto has the shot to move up, and he is getting better each week. He ma pass Michael Johns at some point.

Now on to the show, reports are in from the east coast feed of the show and there is already one stunner. First, Brooke White is safe as is David Archuleta and Michael Johns. But one from the A-list hits the bottom three, Carly Smithson and all of the judges believe America got it wrong.

Update I: The next four results are in and there are no stunning results here. David Cook is as is safe Jason Castro and Ramiele Malubay. Kristy Lee Cook is again in the bottom three.

Update II: Carly is safe and Kristy Lee is safe and Amanda Overmyer is done. She has been voted off of American idol.
